Write an Internal Object to a File
Description
Writes an ASCII text representation of an R object to a file or connection, or uses one to recreate the object.
Usage
dput(x, file = "")
dget(file)
Arguments
x |
an object. |
file |
either a character string naming a file or a
connection. |
Details
dput opens file and deparses the object x into
that file. The object name is not written (contrary to dump).
If x is a function the associated environment is stripped.
Hence scoping information can be lost.
Using dget, the object can be recreated (with the limitations
mentioned above).
dput will warn if fewer characters were written to a file than
expected, which may indicate a full or corrupt file system.
